How I got started shooting
I started shooting at an early age with my dad, grandfather and uncle during summer vacations. I did not shoot again until I became a Cubmaster for one of the local Cub Scout Packs in San Antonio, TX. I was volunteered, by my lovely wife, to be the BB Gun and Archery instructor for four consecutive summer camps. I remembered how fun it was and one day one of my Airmen, from Wilford Hall Medical Center, came to me looking for help on how to get started shooting pistols and earn an EIC medal. We found the team contact information on the web and proceeded to make contact with TSgt McGloin to get started. Before I knew it I was hooked!
